Oh ick! Do that to a Honda!
I understand, but my car's original wheels are long gone. Thunderbird wheels are on it now. I don't really like them.

So, I found these 20s, cheap. I beleive they would be a big improvement over gold T-bird wheels on a yellow vert. I just can't afford $1,300 plus shiping on new wheels from Hank.

PS
No Cobra Rs! :P
1,300 is ridiculous, but supply and demand comes in (along with only person selling the parts, now if there were 3-4 suppliers......)

What's wrong with cobra Rs?

Ditto......

you do have to be careful with what size tire you go with in the front however.

Lol! Nothing. They look great on the car, but I'll be darned if I going to have the same wheels as my brother in law!!!!!! Lol!
I wish blue jeans, old cars, and boots would go out of style.

Thanks to all who answered and gave opinions. It really does help, and sometimes even prevents me from doing something stupid! Lol!

Thank You! Happy Pass-over.
